Unlock the potential to grow the largest pumpkins in the world with Cucurbita pepo 'Atlantic Giant' seeds! Perfect for both aspiring and seasoned growers, these extraordinary seeds produce pumpkins with pink-orange ribbed skin, renowned for reaching astonishing weights of 800 to 1500 pounds under optimal conditions. In the right environment, these pumpkins can truly become botanical behemoths, as proven by the world record holder that weighed an impressive 2009 pounds. 'Atlantic Giant' captivates with its enchanting appearance and sheer size, but also offers delicious rewards: its seeds are delectable when roasted, and despite the stringy flesh, it can be used to whip up scrumptious pies and soups.

Growing an 'Atlantic Giant' is more than a horticultural endeavor—it's an art form. Each sprawling vine can produce one enormous pumpkin or several weighing over 40 pounds each, thriving in full sun with ample nutrients and water. Typically reaching sizes of 400 to 500 pounds, these pumpkins require plenty of space, with vines stretching 15 to 20 feet. Embrace the challenge and embark on this rewarding journey; with dedication, your dream of growing a monster pumpkin can become a reality! Note: Days to maturity are approximately 120 days; 'Atlantic Giant' is frost-sensitive.
